2014 Salaries

Just looking at the player's salaries and noticing several players are not making a lot this year - the big (or bigger) money kicks in in 2015. I'm not sure if this takes into account signing bonuses so maybe someone can chime in on that.

Actually that was a terrible OP as I forgot to post a link and didn't explain the point well.

Our recent signings like Beason, Jennings, Holiday, Manningham, Jerry, DRC, and McBride are all making salaries under 1 million this year. But with further digging I see that doesn't include signing bonuses.

That's how it works... The signing bonus is paid out instantly, but the hit from it is spread along the life of the contract. "Prorated bonus" lists what proportion of it is counting towards a specific year.

Right, difference from one year to the next has nothing to do with a signing bonus, it is completely the base salary.

For instance, Beason's base salary this year is 730k, next year its 3.6 mil.

The signing bonus is evenly spread throughout the contract, so it can not account for any salary jumps
